Release notes for MITpro Version 2.29 ------------------------------------- 1. Bug fixed when attempting to copy a missing logo file. 2. No longer writes multiple spurious entries to the configuration file. 3. Bug fixed when numbering couplings from the bottom. 4. Printing logo preserves aspect ratio now. 5. Bug fixed on double clicking a damage item which sometimes took you to the wrong item. 6. Bug fixed which sometimes gave the wrong mean ID. 7. Added facility to eliminate gaps and repeats from couplings. 8. Coupling items config now has checks on values entered plus error messages. Default values now depend on metric/imperial setting. 9. Bug fixed which prevented saving the configuration file for the analysis. 10. New dongle messages added. 11. Cosmetic changes. Release notes for MITpro Version 2.28 ------------------------------------- 1. Bug fixed when using auto-analyse option for jewellery items. The results of analysis were omitted from the report and report files. 2. Bug fixed when calculating tool deviation angle. The old code was not accurate at angles above about 40 degrees. 3. Bug fixed in depth index file. This file had an extra depth record which caused the default processing stop depth to lie above the end of data. 4. Bug fixed that allowed Error Message 60 to appear repeatedly. 5. Avoids calls to printer enddoc between the pages of a report. Release notes for MITpro Version 2.27 ------------------------------------- 1. Bug fixed when adding user-defined types to Edit Section Description form. The program would crash with run-time error 381 after 2 new types were added. Release notes for MITpro Version 2.26 ------------------------------------- 1. Includes heading records in the temporary couplings file (MITCPLS.DAT), so that this working backup can be used. 2. Fixed a bug in the original centralising code, that caused some data to be corrected twice over, where the centralising algorithm had failed. 3. Includes a check on the version number of the report text file. 4. Fixed a bug in the Analysis Overview graphic, which failed only when a particular number of joints had been analysed. Also fixed the problem that the joint ID annotations did not correspond to the right joints, when only part of the survey was analysed. 5. Includes a correction for the effects of centralising on the pipe ovality. 6. Fixed a bug when re-numbering couplings, which lost some partial joint IDs. 7. Fixed a bug which inhibited turning Modal Line Analysis on and off during damage processing. 8. Improved the finger re-calibration facility on the Cross Section Display, so that the calibration offsets are applied immediately to the buffered data. 9. Fixed a bug that occasionally disables damage processing, when modal lines have been moved manually. (Symptom was no damage reported.) 10. Included facility to change the default processing buffer length and other processing items when depth units are changed at a user prompt. Release notes for MITpro Version 2.25 ------------------------------------- 1. Includes a Configuration Items Option to automatically select defaults for some values used in the processing, when the Start button is clicked. Access to some other processing items has been restricted to higher user authorisation levels. 2. Allows users to label up to 99 consecutive jewellery items in the couplings file. 3. Allows some jewellery items to be processed automatically, if selected on the Section Description Form. (This involves a new version of the couplings file.) 4. Allows the default pipe parameters to be loaded on the Section Description Form. 5. Coupling search for Types 3 and 4 now limits the coupling region length that can be suggested. The limits on coupling lengths have been increased. 6. Improved coupling region definition, when using automatic search for Type 3. 7. When finding couplings in manual mode, the temporary couplings file is now backed up after every joint is processed. 8. A choice of centralising algorithms is presented on the Processing Items Form, which is backed up in the .psf file on a per section basis. A further option allows users to decide whether to apply the saved processing options or to use the current defaults, when a survey is re-processed. The centralising algorithm options are:- - None, for use when the data has already been centralised - Simple, which sets the average finger position to the pipe centre line at every depth - Full, which performs the usual MITpro centralising algorithms. Where the selected algorithm fails, on a particular section, the program switches to Manual Mode to allow users to select a different algorithm. 9. Processing stops at the top of the uppermost section selected using the Set Start/ Stop Depth Option, rather than at the end of the buffer. 10. Includes graphical presentations of worst restriction and fluid area loss per joint, both as an extra page in the Analysis Overview Section, and as an additional format option in the Joint Tabulation Section, selectable from the Presentation Items form. (This information requires a new column in the summary report file.) 11. A key showing the colour shading thresholds has been added to the printed Summary Report. 12. User logo files are now read from the application directory, in the first instance, and they are copied when the Summary Report is saved. The logo file is read from the data directory when an existing report is re-loaded or printed. 13. Changed Hardlock software versions to 2.15 (hlvdd.dll) and 2.70 (hardlock.vxd). 14. Print quality commands to the printer have been omitted, so users should now set the printer resolution beforehand, or accept the default. (This is to avoid problems with some colour printers.) Release notes for MITpro Version 2.24 ------------------------------------- This version of MITpro has a slightly changed centralising algorithm, which gives better results for 60-finger and 80-finger tools, and it includes a new error massage (Error 60) if centralising consistently fails. It also allocates less memory for the processing buffer, so it should run faster. The option to select output depth units is ignored, where a report is printed as it is being created. Where modal line analysis is de-selected, the damage classification scheme text on the Joint Tabulation shows "(disabled)". Release notes for MITpro Version 2.23 ------------------------------------- This version of MITpro has a slightly changed centralising algorithm, which is more robust against widespread damage. It also includes small, second order corrections to the pipe diameter, which are significant only where the tool is greatly eccentred. A bug has been fixed, which prevented all earlier versions of MITpro from reading the inclinometer channels in 60-finger and 80-finger tools. Release notes for MITpro Version 2.22 ------------------------------------- This version of MITpro has an improved Spanish language report output. It prompts users to select their language when the program is first loaded. Please make sure that the file MITproText.ans is removed from the application directory when any earlier versions of MITpro are removed. There are some minor changes to the report format. This version also includes a new integrity check, following data file loading, which checks that the data will fit into the processing buffer and warns users if it will not. (Such files should then be filtered before processing.) The processing buffer length is no longer used as parameter during filtering. The configured language appears (for advice only) on the Configuration Items Form, and the presentation style of the Auxiliary Trace Definition Form has been changed. Release notes for MITpro Version 2.20 ------------------------------------- This version of MITpro can generate / print Summary Reports in several different languages. The ANSI text strings which can appear in the reports are all read from the file MITproText.ans, on the MITpro application path. Both English and Spanish versions are supplied, as MITproEng.ans and MITproSpan.ans respectively. Note that only the printed Summary Report is translated, but some component texts are also generated in the configured language, during damage analysis. Any user-edited texts should be in the configured language also. Please copy the language file you require to MITproText.ans before running the program. To convert an existing report, you should re-analyse each joint. Release notes for MITpro Version 2.16 ------------------------------------- A bug in the calculation of minimum pipe ID has been fixed, which affected the results when some of the fingers are invalid. Release notes for MITpro Version 2.15 ------------------------------------- A bug in the printer set up has been fixed, which caused page length errors in some printers. Release notes for MITpro Version 2.14 ------------------------------------- The following fixes have been applied:- - A bug was fixed in the main display and processing buffer set up. (This bug was introduced in Version 2.12.) - The hardlock code was changed, to allow Chinese users to run MITpro. - Confirmation prompts have been included for the MITpro main window and the master finger trace form cancel events. Release notes for MITpro Version 2.12 ------------------------------------- The following fixes have been applied:- - A bug was fixed in the manual dragging of modal lines on slave finger trace displays - The coupling items help screen was modified - The processing buffer size was increased, for 24 and 40 finger tools, to allow the processing of data logged at lower tool speeds (down to 20ft/min). A warning message is displayed if the tool speed is too slow. - Cross section displays have been made to refresh as soon as they are loaded. Release notes for MITpro Version 2.1 ------------------------------------- The following changes have been made since Version 2.0:- - Users can specify fixed, upper and lower upset lengths, on the Section Coupling Items Form, for use in the upset region analysis. Damage items within the corresponding regions are expressed as percentages of the upset region wall thickness (using the Upset OD values). - The Depth option on the Damage Classifications Form now causes the most severe damage items to be listed in depth order. (This was not fully implemented in earlier versions.) - After locating the couplings, it is no longer necessary to select Manual or Automatic mode before clicking the 'Yes' button. A separate prompt box appears to allow re-selection of the mode of operation. This change has made automatic coupling location simpler to control. - When editing an existing Summary Report, the coupling identifiers are used to cross reference the saved damage descriptions. If you try to change the coupling identifiers, you are warned that the earlier processed results will be lost. - The depth and displacement units are now independently selectable on the Presentation Items Form. These affect the format of all directly printed output. - Several bug fixes have been made. Release notes for MITpro Version 2.0 ------------------------------------- Version 2.0 is a fully developed version of MITpro. The following new features have been added, since Version 1.9:- - Finger Trace graphics and Auxiliary Trace graphics can be included in the report. Both types can be re-produced using the Reprint option. - When processing damage in Manual mode, if you drag the cursor to another joint, then the program processes the new joint immediately. - Several bug fixes and minor presentation changes have been made. Release notes for MITpro Version 1.9 ------------------------------------- Version 1.9 is a substantially changed version of MITpro. The following new features have been added:- - Damage processing is re-enterable, giving you the facility to modify previously analysed survey reports withou having to re-generate them. - You can set a Start Depth and a Stop Depth (or Joint Numbers) for the damage processing. Select the new Set Start / Stop Depths option at the Config. Menu. - You can drag the depth cursor, on Slave Finger Trace and Auxilliary Trace displays. The cursor position jumps back to the centre on release. - The Joint Tally Sheets include Modal ID, Mean ID, Nominal ID, Nominal OD for every joint. - The List of Couplings now includes the section type and an indication of over-length sections, where the couplings have not been located. - You can set different nominal diameters and pipe weights for each section. These are shown on the Joint Tally Sheets, along with the measured mean and modal diameter values for each section. The different values are also shown in the heading on the Analysis Overview. There is a new form to enter the pipe parameters, which includes the Metal Grade and Thread. This form also allows you to customise the section type codes. The page headings for the Summary Report use the current pipe parameters, when the report is generated. - The Summary Report File includes additional columns for "Mean Av ID" and "Make-up Av ID" and "Make-up sd" - the mean and standard deviation in the mean diameter values for the make-up region. - You can edit the damage report comment lines, as each section is processed, unless you have selected continuous automatic processing mode. - The Process Results File is maintained, when each section is processed, so that each section appears only once. - You can suppress recurring warning messages (by clicking on "Cancel"). To re-instate them, use the new option on the Configuration Items form. - You can set thresholds for including adjectives like "heavy" and "deep" in the comments for the Joint Damage Reports (on the Classification Items form). - Numerous bug fixes and minor format changes have been made. Release notes for MITpro Version 1.82 ------------------------------------- The following new features have been added:- - The tool inclinometer data is shown, on Cross Section Displays, as the tool deviation angle. Cross sections appear either with Finger 1 at the top (in which case the uppermost finger is labelled "top") or with the uppermost finger at the top (in which case Finger 1 is labelled "1"). The pipe wall is shaded on Cross Section Displays. - The tool inclinometer data can be shown on Auxilliary Trace Displays, as the tool deviation angle (from 0 to 90 degrees) and the tool rotation angle (from 0 to 360 degrees). - The Processing Items Menu includes the option to filter the finger displacement data, to remove corrupt data spikes etc. This filter identifies bad data by setting a speed limit on finger displacements. It is protected from being applied by users whose authorisation is less than "Analyst". The same protection has also been applied to the oval pipe correction facility. - The Coupling Items Menu includes facilities to control the labelling of the Damage Profile graphic in the Analysis Overview section of the report. Release notes for MITpro Version 1.7 ------------------------------------- The following new features have been added:- - The report presentation has been changed, to improve report clarity. (This includes an option to round off penetration values on the Joint Tabulation.) - Users can select to print each section of the report separately. - Printed graphics no longer show the measured pipe ID value - only the nominal ID is printed. - The displayed 'Remaining wall area' field contains only positive numbers, from 0 to 100%, where the analysis is successful. These depend upon the centralising and modal line fitting procedures. - Screen grphics are drawn using the Auto Redraw property, so that they are mapped into memory before refreshing the screen. (Earlier versions paint the screen directly.) Bugs have been removed, in particular:- - In the use of the manual override facility for modal line analysis. Release notes for MITpro Version 1.6 ------------------------------------- The following new features have been added:- - A depth offset can be applied, when an MIT data file is Filtered. - A coupling depths offset can be applied (under Edit Menu, Couplings). - Modal line analysis can be switched off, using a check box on the Processing Items Menu. - MIT data files containing invalid data sets can be processed properly. - The reference to the disclaimer, appearing on each page of the report, can be switched off, using a check box on the Presentation Items Menu. - Joint tally sheets can be included in the report, using a check box on the Presentation Items Menu. Bugs have been removed, in particular:- - In the changeover from manual to automatic control during damage processing. - In the number of Cross Section Files produced automatically during repeated processing. - The program no longer malfunctions when completion items are encounterd with the option selected to append cross sections automatically.
